Spurs ask for replay?

[JTG]

ah piss off, this is all a bit undignified.

[tommers]

if it was the ARSE, Man Ure or Chel$cum we would never hear the end of it from proven and persistent whingers.....

You can't blame Spurs for trying...

It’s easy to be cynical these days about modern footballers, manager and directors and often with good reason, but events this weekend have shown that sometimes they genuinely do us proud. The players’ determination in trying to win the most important game the club has contested in 15 years was admirable, and we have all been touched by their heroic efforts, despite the dreadful physical condition many of them were in. Similarly, we applaud the dignified reaction of manager Martin Jol and the determination of the directors to right this obvious wrong.

In the face of the flippant reaction to this scandal by sections of the media, the highly suspect way in which events unfolded, the provocative comments of Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry and some West Ham players, together with the outrageous injustice of the whole situation (there is no way the game would have been played had it involved a G14/top four club), it is important that we – Tottenham Hotspur FC – present a unified front. Whatever your view of the rights of wrongs of seeking legal or sporting redress, the performance of individuals and the team over the season and the debatable transfer activity, we are all in this together. We are Tottenham, from the lane

I have highlighted the only bit that is true. the rest of you could learn a lot from him.

Exactly. Trying to get games replayed 'cos your players weren't fit is fucking pathetic.

They were suddenly taken ill on Sunday night/morning not injured or anything else...

thats the difference....

For what its worth I dont think they'll get a replay but as I said before can you blame them for trying? I would try everything possible (apart from the lasagne!!)

No-one can blame Spurs, it might have worked if it had been a likeable club...but not many people like Spurs (Bigger than Barcelona)

Arsenal have been without an unbelievable number of players during the season. If Spurs players were unwell, and the number unwell I think was exaggerated after the event, then you play other players. Did Arsenal ask for postponements when Campbell, Cole, Lauren, Clichy and Van Persie were unfit at the same time Eboue and Toure were with the Ivory Coast?

Levy just looks a complete idiot over this. Rumour has it even members of his own club have asked him to desist in this but he refuses.

How do you know that then? thats nothing more than the type of flippant provocative comment I noted earlier

I'LL SPELL OUT THE DIFFERENCE FOR YOU: THEY WERE UNFIT NOT SUDDENLY TAKEN ILL

Eboue and Toure were with the Ivory Coast?

AND AGAIN: THEY WERE AWAY NOT ILL

Its the suddeness of the illness thats the point, a mutally consented 24hr delay would have been long enough for us to have either prepared other players or to get the ill players well again...

its either very very unlucky or a knobbling... ethier way its gutting for Spurs

about as much of an idiot as ARSEne did with his (distraction from another shit perfomance) comments about us cheating in the derby

 

[gunneradt]

unfit or unwell is irrelevant - it's what you have a squad for.

With what was at stake the games have to be played simultaneously.

So picture this...... 12 hours before your Champions league final in Paris 10 of your first team go down with food poisoning... what would you do?

would the most important game in your recent history be posponed?

would you just carry on regardless? what if you lost... what would you do then?

I'll wager ARSEnal would go on and on about it untill they got they're own way... or poison Barcelonas meat pies!!

You don't get non-Arse people calling them the 'Gunners' do you? Or hardly ever. Sort it ahhht!!!

Spurs is easier to type than tottenham (bigger than barcelona)

Sorry, but where I grew up (-in a place where you are either Arsenal/Spurs/West Ham), we always called 'em Spurs. Couldn't care less what the 'correct' term is.

don't get either of your points. Squad players should be drafted in when players are unwell or injured. The games had to be played simultaneously given what was at stake. Postpone one and you have to postpone all affected matches.

I only made one point the other part of it was a question.... any answers?

simultaneously my Arse

 

[ch750536]

We used to do the pre-match meals for teams playing against Stoke. Often, the keepers plate would be glowing....

I think it would be easy for an employee (almost certainly and arsenal fan) to infect the players food. If this is found to be the case, rather than accidental poisoning, then the rules should be followed.

The rules state that if any interference or match fixing allegations are found then the tie is void.

Consider if large sums of money were placed on west ham to win the game and the person responsible for the poisoning was found to be involved. Would this still be a viable result?

They do have a case, if the allegations are found to have any truth in them at all. The Prem will need to be very cautious in their response.

Remember, Spurs have already lost 540k for finishing 5th instead of fourth, regarless of the outcome from the Arsenal UCL game.

 

[iROBOT]

If it's been proven that the food was "got at" then I can see your point, but with a sqaud of 35 players there are no excuses if it's just bad luck....and they call us whingers!!!

I suspect it would have to be played come what may. The issue with Sunday was the lack of substantiation (there have been many conflicting stories) and the fact that the mathc had to be played at the same time as the Arsenal match.

I think you miss my point ...

Caling them 'Spurs' makes people sound like they're fans. It's the terminalogical equivalent of the Hammers or the Gunners/Gooners. Especially outrageous, the 'Spurs' thing, when BBC Sport people, or journalists generally, do it ...

I appreciate it's a bit of a derail ...

 

[JTG]

I think this sums it up

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nobody might have said precisely that, but your fans are, in general, amongst the worst for being self-deluded that you are one of the world's MASSIVE clubs. Much worse than Man City, who often get accused of that, but are not actually all that guilty.

I hear us being called 'Hammers' by non-fans a lot.

 

[gunneradt]

I actually think Spurs are a big club as are Man City. For the last 10 years though there have been 4 clubs in the races for the major honours more or less with just occasionally Newcastle getting close. Spurs has just been badly run and badly managed though I do think Jol has got this right now.

I've got loads of mates who are Spurs fans and we all get along fine. I genuinely felt sorry for Spurs given that their whole season went on the incident on Sunday but a teeny bit of me says that Spurs overplayed it and were trying to sneak an advantage by getting the game played after the Arsenal match. There were conflicting reports of exactly how bad the bug was on Sunday and I do believe it was exaggerated. Most players apart from Carrick and Dawson looked fine. So why play them when there were fit players on the bench?

What he said.

I've had years of Spurs supporting friends telling my 'this is our year'...they've now turned into 'the UEFA Cup is massive, we've really overachieved, we're not that big a club' types

and don't get me started on the year ends in 1 crap

 

[JTG]

and don't get me started on the year ends in 1 crap

Which is probably more true of Arsenal than it is Tottenham anyway

2001 - League Champions
1991 - ditto
1981 - nothing
1971 - double winners

Much better than Tottenhams haul of a couple of league cups and FA Cups in the same years

1961 is of course the last year in which Tottenham were any good

this is daft.
It is THE CLUB's responsibility to ensure their multi-million pound investments arrive fit to play AND NO-ONE ELSE'S.
they ate at a 4-star hotel. i've taken clients there. the food is superb.
